Hello everyone, as most of you know that Have used Packet Storm Security
for a source for security programs and a lot of Linux and unix addons..
You will be happy to know they are spammers now. And they respond with
things like below. At least Matt@securify was nice and apologized for the
spam.
Nobody likes spam, and you can't run a business that spams people. So, go
to hell.
